An activist from Hindu right-wing group Shiv Sena beats an effigy depicting Afzal Guru with a slipper during a protest in New Delhi December 13, 2011. The activists were demanding the execution of Guru, who was convicted and sentenced to death by India's Supreme Court for an attack on the Indian parliament in December 2001. His execution has been kept on hold pending a clemency appeal before the president of India Pratibha Patil. REUTERS/Parivartan Sharma (INDIA - Tags: POLITICS CIVIL UNREST)
